View down from atop Krn Peak towards Krn Lake with barbed wire from WWI in foreground

This is my favorite lake in Slovenia. To get here, you have to do some sweating. The nearest way is to come up from the Lepena Valley branching off the Soca Valley just west of Bovec. It is a 600 meter climb up old WWI Austrian mule tracks. When you reach the lake, just 15 minutes past a mountain hut, Dom pri Krnski jezeri, where you can get needed supplies - pastry and beer. A great place to just hang out along the shores and take in the scenery for the rest of the day.
